    Chuck Norris famously used a Model M to end the U.S. Civil War.

  2. Re:The concept of the "footprint" is the reason on How Slums Can Save the Planet · · Score: 1

    Brilliant analysis! I've never seen the concept of "carbon footprint" so thoroughly treated. Bravo!

  3. Nice tone on Europe To Block ACTA Disconnect Provisions · · Score: 1

    First, try resizing your browser window to less than 1200 pixels wide and witness the awesome power of the dozens of unnecessary and disruptive line breaks in your post. Yeah, that's what most of us had to wade through.

    Also, watch the movie Billy Madison.

    Also, grow a thicker skin.

    Also, fuck you.

    Then ride a bike, problem solved. I just don't see the BFD.

    How about this. You shed skin cells while you are in public. You shed skin cells on receipts when you sign for things you paid with by credit card. My private company has a right to collect your DNA, create a clone of you, and do whatever it is I want to do with that clone.

    If you don't want your DNA scraped, don't go into public. Problem solved. I just don't see the BFD.

    Fixed that to make an even more interesting point.

    It's "for all intents and purposes" not "for all intensive purposes." When you say it you can get away with it wrong, but when you write it you just look dumb.

    Indeed. Its a common mistake, but you're vigilance is dually noted. I'm just glad I didn't loose all credibility by making alot more mistakes.

  6. Re:Ridiculous on LG Launches Watch Phone In India · · Score: 4, Funny

    Phones in India are normally cheaper than here in Canada, but 49,990 rupees is 1138.21 CAD, you would have to be stupid to buy this phone.

    And even stupider to host your website on it...

    Unfortunately, it arrives as lose pages in no particular order. Cmdr Taco is never pleased with this.

    Have a weekend, loozars.

    For all intensive purposes, you're post should of exploded the heads of any grammar nazis as they read they're screen. Which begs the question of what more damage could possibly be done to effect there sensibilities? Honestly, I could care less.

  8. Re:Timeline on What Is Time? One Researcher Shares His Exploration · · Score: 1

    But this only works towards future. Nevertheless, if it works towards future it must also work towards past.

    This is where you lost me. How did you arrive at that conclusoin?

    I'm pretty sure he started at where he wanted to be and worked backwards. A perfect example of "begging the question".

  9. Re:working hard...or on California Legislature Declares "Cuss-Free" Week · · Score: 1

    Yet another example of the sway held by special interests, like the incredibly influential Knights of Standards and Practices. Too long have their outdated ways oppressed the advancement of dragon-kind. Free Geldon!!

    Maybe even all but one of the posts will contain cuss-words.

    Not this one. Belgium.

    I can't believe the hipocracy what with the thousands of surveillance cameras in EU member state Great Britain.

    I, too, am tired of the entrenched ruling hippopotami watching our every move. We're not trying to steal your grass, you stupid river horses!

  12. Re:The logic of piracy, and the fallacy of copyrig on Europe To Block ACTA Disconnect Provisions · · Score: 2, Funny

    At no point in your rambling, barely coherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered proper formatting. Everyone in this thread is now angrier for having scrolled through it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

  13. Re:Brand-name Power on BlackBerry Bold Tops Radiation Ranking · · Score: 3, Funny

    The apparent contradiction in your statement presents an interesting antimony. Personally I think all the good puns argon, but I've lead the way before, and I will again, although I'm not nearly as good at this as my friend Nick. When he gets going nickel bark them out like he was Rin-Tin-Tin. I do feel like I have one on the tip of my tungsten... Copernicium.

    Notion Ink has you covered if you can wait until June for their Adam. It's basically everything you just described, times 9000. And pricing in the bargain laptop range ($350 - $800). I'm not kidding, check it out.

  17. Re:Hunters.. on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 1

    Funny, I thought it was made for a phone.

    Those are the kind of assumptions that clearly show a lack of faith in the truly awesome (supernatural?) forward-looking vision of Steve Jobs. He just wanted you to think that when He released the iPhone. But, last time I checked, He didn't call the iPhone magical. And, as everyone knows, magic is a combination of the proper components and the correct incantation and gestures. If the OS wasn't made for the iPad, how can you explain the spellbound rapture of the audience when, with a wave of his hand and a few words, he banished the relevance of the netbooks? That's right, you can't!!

  18. Re:Contingencies on Microsoft Secretly Beheads Notorious Waledac Botnet · · Score: 1

    • Microsoft probably thoroughly reverse-engineered the botnet client code prior to seeking the court's assistance.

    Sounds like a DMCA violation if you ask me. Won't someone think of the (botnet) authors?!

  20. Re:The Irony on Beliefs Conform To Cultural Identities · · Score: 1

    True irony would involve evaluating the bias represented by the strength of the researchers' belief in the validity of their conclusions/process, as it is a consequence of their inculcation in their niche (sociology) of the scientific culture.

  21. Re:Yawn... Someone Wake Me When... on Triumph of the Cyborg Composer · · Score: 1

    Wake me when computers write original, meaningful and compelling lyrics to their music.

    Just like Lady Gaga, the Black Eyed Peas, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, P. Diddy, and Garth Brooks... right?

    Dude... "arg"? What kind of pirate says "arg"?

    A pirate who just had a cutlass jammed through his chest. .

    Your complete lack of perspective on a pirate's pain threshold identifies you clearly as a ninja sympathizer.
